Galdino di Cello

Galdino di Cello was an Italian engineer in the service of the Papal general Cesare Borgia during the Italian Wars. He lived in Valnerina, and he designed a prototype bomber, using Leonardo da Vinci's designs. In 1503, Ezio Auditore da Firenze interrogated him, breaking his nose before forcing him to give him the location of the bomber plans and of the machine itself. Auditore proceeded to burn the plans and destroy the machine, crippling Borgia's army.
